The agricultural biologicals testing market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2016 to a value of USD 1.12 Billion by 2021. Agricultural biologicals testing services have become prominent in recent years due to the implementation of regulations regarding the registration of products prior to their marketing. These regulations require the submission of dossiers to authorities describing the characteristics of the product being tested.

By application, the global market is led by field support, followed by analytical use. Field trials are conducted at various stages of product development and require more manpower than other application segments. Analytical services are more in demand at the pre-development phase of agricultural biologicals.

Different types of products such as biopesticides, biofertilizers, and biostimulants, are tested in the agricultural biologicals testing market, among which, biopesticides are the most widely used, globally. Among end users, such as biological product manufacturers, government agencies, and others (plant breeders and outsourced CROs), manufacturers accounted for the largest market share in 2015. Biological product manufacturers require testing services for various purposes ranging from analysis to formation of dossiers.

Europe accounted for the largest market share for agricultural biologicals testing, the U.K. is projected to be the fastest-growing in the region, from 2016 to 2021. On the other hand, North America is projected to be the fastest-growing regional market for the period considered for this study, due to the high adoption rate of biological products and large-scale exports of these products to the European region.

The high cost of agricultural biologicals testing is one of the restraints for its market. The requirement for continuous maintenance is further hindering the growth of the agricultural biologicals testing market.

SGS S.A. (Switzerland), one of the prominent players in the agricultural biologicals testing market, focuses on field support, analytical, and regulatory services. The companys core competencies are technical and regulatory expertise, market knowledge, and R&D capabilities. Recently, the company expanded to establish SGS Vietnams testing capabilities for the food and agricultural industries, in order to provide a range of testing and analysis services on commodities and food.
